    Re: American in Scotland...

    Well, one year on I just had my visit with my Doctor (dietician) for the last time. I got a clean bill of health but he said the Surgeon who performed the surgery likes to see the patients a year on...

    Re: American in Scotland...

    About 7 stone 3 lbs in about 10 months. :o :o :o My target was 7 stone 2 lbs and Dr. Fred says I could lose up to 7 stone 7 lbs, but I wouldn't want to lose anymore than that.

    I couldn't be...

    Re: Loss, gain and stalls?

    Well, I was using CalorieCount, which I still use for logging my weight, but their graphing wasn't so good after about 6 months, so I created my own in Excel.

    Re: what's normal?

    Normal would be to lose your excess weight in 9-18 months. This isn't a week by week thing. You might expect to lose up to 1/2 of it in the first 3 months, but again everyone is different. But if...

    Re: Eating/Drinking help pleaseeeeee

    As I understand it, the main reason for not drinking is that with the sleeve fluids can easily fill you up (it is different than the not drinking for the band). If you get full on fluids, then you...

    1. Yes... It took about 6 months for me, but I am a lot less noisy than I was.
    2. Yes... The cravings get easier. I remember distinctly getting depressed that I would never sit...

    Re: Loss, gain and stalls?

    Here is what my weight loss looks like for the past year. As I have gotten to the "maintain" mode I have stopped recording my weight unless it is less than my previous weight, but it hasn't gone up...

    Re: I've been a very bad boy.....

    I think we really have to put in perspective "falling off the wagon" post sleeve. Part of the major driver for me getting the sleeve is that I didn't want to have the roller-coaster guilt/success...

    Re: 7 Weeks Post Op - I'm messing up big time

    As others have said "don't beat yourself up". I think you have a dose of your "fat brain" talking, which says you aren't good enough to deserve to lose weight, that you are going to fail. It is...

    Re: Food in my sleeve, UGH

    It has gotten generally better for me, but there are still times when I eat something and it feels stuck there. What happens to me now is that if I am not able to control my food enough is that I...

    Re: Losing more weight than I want to

    I was worried about this too, but I just spent the last 6 weeks losing 1.5 lbs, so it seems my weight has stabilised. I am not past my target weight, but I think I might lower it to 190. The doctor...

    Re: 12 weeks out. Calorie intake.?.

    I stopped counting calories a long time ago and just focused on protein. At least for me, focusing on protein is all I needed to do. In fact my doctor wouldn't tell me how many calories I should be...

    Re: Hiking and protein intake

    I find nuts actually some of the best protein for me to digest. At 12 weeks out, I would give them a try. In fact I would guess somewhere around 1/2 my protein comes from nuts. The biggest problem...

    Re: Food Smells Better Than It Tastes?

    Re: Concerns About Stretching :(

    I think we potentially can all benefit from understanding that "stop eating when full" means one of two things post-sleeve. "Stop eating when not hungry" or "stop eating when physically full". The...

    The human body is an amazing thing, and stomachs stretch. Is it the size it used to be, highly unlikely, but it is bigger then when she had the surgery, highly likely? As others have said, it is a...

    Re: Cpap usage after surgery

    Well, I parted with mine, gladly. Once I lost the weight, it really wasn't doing anything for me and while it served a big purpose, I was more than happy not to need it anymore.
